There is a fruit other than the cranberry that is in season right now, the pomegranate, and it happens to be National Pomegranate Month. That may seem a little odd to some considering that it is November, but fall and winter happen to be when pomegranates are at their peak in the Northern Hemisphere.
Because pomegranates are perfect this time of year, that also makes it a perfect fruit to don holiday dinner tables and with Thanksgiving this week, it's a great time to introduce it to the season. When it comes to food you have your pick of pomegranate recipes and the list of pomegranate drinks is constantly growing so there are plenty of options available. Of course, when it comes to drinks we don't have to stick with fresh pomegranate but can use some of the great pomegranate-flavored vodkas and liqueurs instead.
Here are some pomegranate inspirations that stand out...
- Thanksgiving Turkey-Pomegranate Salad - A great use for leftovers.
- Pomegranate Cake - Bring the fruit into dessert.
- Buttermilk-Banana Pancakes with Pomegranate Syrup - A great way to start the day with the pomegranate coming from PAMA liqueur.
- Peach Pomegranate Holiday Martini - Seasoned up to perfection.
- Mrs. Claus' Wildside Punch - It's never too early for this tequila punch.
- Mulled Pomegranate Warmer - A twist on Mulled Wine.
